Hysen Memolla (born 3 July 1992) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a left back for Kuwaiti Premier League club Al-Jahra.
Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Kavajë, Albania, Memolla moved to Apulia, Italy at the age of one with his parents.[5] He started training football in his hometown Pezze di Greco, before moving to the youth ranks of ASD Esperia in nearby Monopoli. In 2010 he moved to the academy of Martina Franca, recently promoted to Eccellenza. The following year, he joined the first-team squad, now in fifth-tier Serie D and featured in the squad that achieved another promotion, to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.[6] After two further seasons in the fourth-tier, Memolla signed a contract with the Serie A side Hellas Verona.[7]
Hellas Verona and loans
[edit]Memolla wouldn't feature for the first-team however, partly due to non-EU citizenship.[5] He was sent immediately back on loan to Martina Franca, now in third-tier Lega Pro.[5]
His next loan would be of a higher profile as he moved on loan to the Slovenian top-tier side FC Koper.[8] He played in 17 matches for the club, scoring twice, but did not feature after mid-March 2016.
Hajduk Split
[edit]He signed as a free agent for HNK Hajduk Split on 4 July 2016, after passing successfully a trial.[9] Memolla made his Hajduk debut in a Round 3 Prva HNL match against RNK Split at Park Mladeži in a 0–1 win for Hajduk.[10] His contract was prolonged for two further years after he established himself as a first-team player.[11]
Salernitarna
[edit]Memolla did not feature in a single game in the 2018–19 season after being replaced in the starting line up by André Fomitschow and Domagoj Bradarić. He was eventually moved to Hajduk's 2nd team and placed on transfer list. On 24 January 2019, he terminated his contract with Hajduk and joined the Serie B side Salernitana.[12]
KPV
[edit]On 12 August 2019, he moved to Finland and signed with Kokkolan Palloveikot (KPV) in Veikkausliiga.[13]
Diósgyőr
[edit]Lahti
[edit]On 21 January 2022, he returned to Finland and signed with Veikkausliiga side Lahti for the 2022 season.[15]
Egnatia
[edit]On 15 April 2023, Memolla signed a contract extension with the club until June 2025.[16]
International career
[edit]Memolla received his first international call up at the Albania national under-21 football team by coach Skënder Gega for a 3 days testing from 7–10 May 2012.[17]
Albania senior side
[edit]Following his good form at Hajduk Split mostly in the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round, progressing through 3 rounds and qualifying for play-off, Memolla received his first call for the Albania senior team by newly appointed coach Christian Panucci for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Liechtenstein and Macedonia on 2 and 5 September 2017.[18] He was an unused substitute against the former[19] and made his debut against the later, coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute in place of national team's captain, Ansi Agolli.[20]
